Re: Newbie Oracle Question

Designer doesn't have to be in its own instance. I hope you followed all the steps right, the ora-message you are getting can be confusing I think. Assuming you already have one database up and running ask yourself the question: is this going to be my application database, my repository database (that's the one designer uses) or both (which might be fine in a test/developer environment).

If you want the instance to be your repository database create a user that's going to be the repository owner, grant that user dba-priviliges and with the repository administration utility install the repository tables. Then you can add users to have access to that repository, with that same utility. You should check the instllation manual also. After that you should be able to log on to designer as repository owner or any of the users you've granted access to the repository.

O.k. hope this works for you.
